, Nick Mason, Jimmy Page, and more reflect on Aubrey “Po” Powell and Storm Thorgerson’s reign and willingness to go the distance.
“Paul McCartney called me up and he said, ‘I want to put it on Everest,'” Thorgerson said in the trailer, recalling the cover for the singer’s 1978 compilation album. The album artwork features an ancient statuette in gilded gold perched on a red podium, which McCartney’s wife Linda had purchased earlier that year, only stationed on top of the mountain.
“They represent the golden age of the music business,” Noel Gallagher explained in the clip.

And when Powell and Thorgerson wanted a shot, they got it.
